#StopLossStrategies

A stop-loss is a risk management tool that automatically closes a trade at a predetermined price to limit losses. Here are key strategies:

1. **Percentage-Based Stop-Loss** – Set a fixed % (e.g., 2-5%) of your capital as the max loss per trade.

2. **Support/Resistance Levels** – Place stops just below support (long) or above resistance (short) to avoid false breakouts.

3. **Moving Average Stop** – Exit when price crosses a key MA (e.g., 50-day or 200-day).

4. **Volatility-Based (ATR)** – Use Average True Range (ATR) to set stops based on market volatility (e.g., 1.5x ATR).

5. **Time-Based Stop** – Close trades if they don’t move as expected within a set time.

**Pro Tip:** Avoid emotional decisions by sticking to your stop-loss plan. Adjust only for technical reasons, not fear or greed. $BTC
